You make a job preparation checklist which covers all the aspects of job preparation. A bunch of first job tips and a checklist will make you job ready. The elements of this job preparation checklist include the following:
AMCAT Exam

It evaluates candidates on the basis of their knowledge of English, quantitative aptitude, logical reasoning, and their course subject.
The module you choose as your course subject is optional and one can choose from a series of topics listed in amcat modules. However, obviously, the selection of optional module must be based on the field or industry of work that you wish to be a part of, and of course your graduation stream.
The amcat exam score is considered by 1000+ companies as an important criterion for judging a candidate’s employability. This exam opens multiple job opportunities and doorways for graduates looking for jobs.
Preparing For AMCAT
By now you know how important the amcat exam is for job seekers. Naturally, it proves that your job preparation checklist should include preparing well for this particular exam.
Since the questions asked are from varied fields, you must have some knowledge of all of it. It takes efforts (learning, practicing, and revision) for completing the amcat exam preparation process.
But is it really complete if you haven’t tested your knowledge?
This is why MyAMCAT introduced PrepAMCAT, the ultimate tool for preparing for amcat exam. With PrepAMCAT you can take up mock amcat tests in your homes before the actual exam. The exam is based on the exact same pattern as the actual exam and the results are considered very useful. The result and constructive feedback provided help you in identifying your strong and weak areas for further improvement.
